The number one rule in broadcasting is to NEVER have "dead air" so personalities are always going non-stop speaking or listening only long enough for someone else to chime in or answer...some people have the gift no matter how asinine they come off, it matters not so long as sound is being transmitted. Tucker isn't any different in basis, but he does have a Journalistic attitude and given his due isn't bad at what he does...certainly has made a good living at it.
